		<title>Banks and S/MIME (and other public key encrypted mail options)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many widely deployed mail client apps support S/MIME.  Banks worry about phishing and security since generally they are either liable for losses due to unauthorized online account access or act as though they are to encourage use of the online tools rather than expensive agents.
I really wish a bank supported me giving them a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Robustness Principal and internal APIs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[RFC 761 section 1.2.2.

2.10. Robustness Principle
  TCP implementations should follow a general principle of robustness:
  be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from
  others.

RFC 1122 elaborates with section 1.2.2.:

  1.2.2  Robustness Principle
         At every layer of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thunderbird 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not perfect.
A clear improvement, however.  I particularly dig the new search.  Once I figured out I could configure the Archive function to put archives from all my accounts into my local Linux box&#8217;s IMAP server I also liked the new Archive function.   It nearly matches the system I maintained by hand [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cineform NeoScene, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, 5D mark II, and Timecode.cpp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Suppose you&#8217;ve recorded some video with your Canon 5D mark II.  It is in a format that is annoying to edit using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
Suppose further that you have purchased Cineform Neoscene to transcode that video into a nice-to-edit format.
Further suppose that this workflow was working fine on your old Vista 64-bit machine.
Now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7 might be cool if the upgrade worked</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I preordered Win7 Pro from Amazon.  I&#8217;ve been using 64-bit Vista for almost a year now and it&#8217;s been nice enough.
I decide to do a clean install.  The Windows 7 installer works great right up until it won&#8217;t accept the product key that came in the package.  The &#8220;Upgrade&#8221; Win7 cannot install [...]]]></description>

		<title>Credit card security</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received a letter from &#8220;Network Solutions LLC&#8221; claiming they had a security breach and some transactions made via &#8220;a web merchant&#8221; &#8220;may&#8221; have been compromised on a particular date.   I only had one transaction with a &#8220;web merchant&#8221; on the date they list with that card.
I wonder if this letter is entirely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adobe Audition 3, Windows Vista 64, and running as Administrator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Adobe Audition 3 (or at least the trial version) really wants to run as an administrator on Windows Vista 64-bit.  Several hours groveling through possible resolutions from the Internets (including searching Adobe support) to diagnose the &#8220;exit on startup with the modal dialog box &#8216;Adobe Audition cannot find any supported audio devices.  Check [...]]]></description>

		<title>Asterisk (Still)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally disconnected the phone&#160; that was directly connected to the landline, which means Asterisk now decides when the phone rings at all and any voicemails get mailed to me as WAV files.&#160; This is much better.
I did have to tweak the voicemail settings so the WAV files were actually audible without turning the PC [...]]]></description>

		<title>Asterisk, again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I dragged out a Cisco (Linksys) SPA3102 and finally got around to setting up Asterisk at home.   The final motivation?  Easy &#8220;routing&#8221; of annoying (800&#124;866&#124;877&#124;etc&#124;no caller id) callers straight to voicemail.   
Despite being on all the &#8220;do not call&#8221; lists I still get too many (= some) unsolicited calls representing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Python and libyahoo2, take 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last October I worked on a libyahoo2 binding using Pyrex and got it far enough along to discover the version of libyahoo2 I was using couldn&#8217;t log into YIM.
Several Ubuntu updates later I noticed libyahoo2 had been upgraded and, sure enough, this version worked.
I updated the Git repository mentioned in that post but it is [...]]]></description>
